I combined the great export functionality of mp3tag and perl (which I'm not really good in) to build myself a music archive based on html files.
I just thought that maybe others might be interested in it and decided to post it here.
To get more information an download the source have a look here:

Although it was already mentioned in this forum I'd like to say that adding commandline functionality or a batchmode in mp3tag would really be great.
But anyway, thank you for this peace of software.

That's cool, works very good for me here.
And you can drop the macro recorder i think, mp3tag can create the album.html files recursively:
change this in the mp3tag template:
```
[EXPORTEXTENSION]
EXTENSION=%_folderpath_rel%album.html
```
and use strg+shift+e to start the export dialog
